# Steps to Follow:

Pre-heat Air Fryer to 370°F (188°C) and set the timer for 10 minutes.

03 -
Add canned crab meat, Panko breadcrumbs, and beaten egg to the mixture. Stir until well mixed, then divide the mixture into 4 equal patties.

Place the patties in a single layer on parchment-lined containers. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
05 -
Transfer patties to the Air Fryer tray in a single layer. Insert the tray into the Air Fryer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden.
06 -
Allow patties to cool for 1 minute. Serve as is or with your favorite sauce.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Not all Air Fryers cook the same, so it's important to stay attentive during initial tests with a new machine.
02 -
Using an Air Fryer with a glass door allows you to keep an eye on the process without releasing heat.
03 -
For optimal flavor and texture, allow the patties to chill for at least 30 minutes, or marinate up to 2 hours or overnight.
04 -
Avoid excessive Old Bay seasoning to preserve the delicate flavor of the crab meat.
